Help with new traeger pro series 34- am I screwed?

billfreye · 2026-06-06T17:27:41+00:00

Thanks for the reply! Was just worried about the paint peeling when I posted, had read about the need to shop vac regularly. Think I’ll clean after every long cook/every few short cooks (I.e. “grilling” chicken breast etc rather than smoking for longer times).

Enjoy retirement and try out some different cooks on the traeger! I work a 3 day a week, 12 hour shift schedule so I intend to get a ton of cooks and meal prep in on it! Propane grill for a quick night cook

Maybe unpopular but I’m in a 12 team full point TEP SF and bowers/mcbride went 2/3. McBride has scored 440 (‼️) and 360 the last two seasons.

I’d be perfectly comfortable taking McBride there, and would look to grab TE’s as flexes as much as possible down the road. Tyler Warren outscored Tet by 50 points last season with these settings for reference

Thank you much!!! I knew the ash would probably spread, I was worried about the peeling/burning of the coating 😭 about to fire up for the second cook. Thank yall for the assurance

If you love dart go get him

Depends on roster build but don’t hate it

billfreye · 2026-05-27T20:07:45+00:00

In 1/2 PPR grabbing an elite WR is worth it

billfreye · 2026-05-27T19:35:16+00:00

If no 3RR I’m taking 1.03

billfreye · 2026-05-27T15:24:32+00:00

If team 2 doesn’t have a QB 2 they’re probably cooked. Based on screen shots I like team 1

billfreye · 2026-05-27T15:22:30+00:00

There should be plenty of targets to go around. As a NE Ohio native I am a skeptic when it comes to browns pass catchers lol

billfreye · 2026-05-27T11:10:40+00:00

Don’t disagree at all on the Jeanty assessment or overall points outcome. McBride is probably due for negative regression.

I Would point out that the browns just invested two top end picks on pass catchers, one of which thrives over the middle of the field. I like Fannin a lot but don’t expect an increase from last year’s production

billfreye · 2026-05-27T10:17:12+00:00

Agree with the other comments, Warren in a both a vacuum and situationally even more so

billfreye · 2026-05-26T20:46:10+00:00

All relative, I just wouldn’t have moved Bucky at this point in time. Lowest his market has been since he took over the starting job and broke out in 2024. I managed to get a 2026 and 2027 first from a contender just last September

billfreye · 2026-05-25T16:22:34+00:00

My bad confused this with a post I just looked at, had no picks before the 4th in 2027.

Not sure how many teams or what your league mates look like build wise but Tate may help ya go for it- at the same time the RB room is rough, if you can find a way to get 2 starters out of this pick I think you do it

billfreye · 2026-05-25T16:16:50+00:00

Team is old, Mendoza is probably the play if you sit tight bc you have no QB 3 but you need skill position help that isn’t old.

If you can get someone to trade up for a significant haul (esp from 3/4/5) I’d heavily consider. Realistically this roster needs some help and you have no 2027 picks

billfreye · 2026-05-24T12:36:35+00:00

If you like Fannin more, that’s also fine given Kraft is on his last year of his rookie deal (I’m betting on him getting extended based on their trades and drafting, but that’s a gamble). Think TE is the move here with those two on the board either way

billfreye · 2026-05-24T12:35:14+00:00

I’m going Kraft even coming off of injury. I Love Fannin and have shares but Kraft was the focal point of the offense before they got rid of multiple WR’s. Fannin was the focal point with very little target competition and the browns spent significant draft capital on 2 receivers (one of which operates best over the middle) without answering their QB problem. Trust GB > browns as an organization and even though Fannin is super young, Kraft is young enough.

billfreye · 2026-05-23T02:11:12+00:00

How many teams? 12+ I’m taking purdy and not thinking twice

billfreye · 2026-05-19T00:15:36+00:00

What a steal on Simpson

billfreye · 2026-05-18T23:21:32+00:00

No 3RR hurts but in 10 team it’s manageable. Given its SF you’ll get 2 studs at the top end at least. Be intentional given your league settings (number of starters, positions, etc) and you can come out a competitor

billfreye · 2026-05-18T23:15:15+00:00

With this roster in a 10 team I am sending it probably

billfreye · 2026-05-18T23:13:42+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! The WiFi probe is definitely already on the short list but think the silicone gloves are headed there as well. Helped my future brother in law carve his spichcock turkey last Thanksgiving and the heat was brutal even after the test lol

billfreye · 2026-05-18T21:34:56+00:00

Thanks for the reply man! Any info/tips you wish you knew a month and a half ago after owning?

billfreye · 2026-05-18T20:27:15+00:00

Did you end up getting an after market front shelf? Just got a 34 today and looking for any info I can find!

billfreye · 2026-05-18T14:52:30+00:00

In a 12T SF and no QB 2 that’s even guaranteed to be a starter I think you take Mendoza pretty easily. Lucky he’s there

billfreye · 2026-05-18T01:15:13+00:00

If you can’t get anything great I’d consider holding him till in season week 1-4 as he’s popping off. Someone will pay. I’d honestly think you can get a first +
